WHAT THEY REALLY MEAN (PRAGMATIC SUBTEXT)
“Stop treating me like a fool; I know exactly what you are implying.”
💡 Cultural Insight: Calling Out Hidden Innuendo

Chinese interpersonal communication often relies on subtle implication, so explicitly saying 'I understand your true meaning' is a strong, face-threatening move to halt passive-aggressive behavior.
